A winner and an unlucky one yesterday, a big-priced second there, all three off a break.

Interesting, George.
Just noticed James Horton got a winner today and has one entry at the moment...in the Lincoln on 1st April. Rated 94, Encourageable would have got in last year and shows at 50/1 with Betfair 5 places at the moment. On penultimate win (3 Sep at Thirsk) I thought this analysis remark was, erm...encouraging : ENCOURAGEABLE brought a progressive profile into the race and won convincingly. Pleasingly, this soft-ground win also demonstrates that he's versatile in terms of underfoot conditions - an AW novice winner, and also effective on good to firm - which will serve him well as he tackles stronger opposition. |

Tattcorner, I was impressed enough to put him in the notebook after that win, particularly as the win coincided with a first encounter with soft ground.
He didn't back it up on g-s three weeks later at Haydock, but could be a lively outsider back from the pause that refreshes. Incidentally, talking of 50-1 pokes, the horse that was 4th behind him at Thirsk, Vaccine, runs tonight at Newcastle. |

A form booster for Encourageable as Vaccine shows no hesitancy with an injection of pace to run on into second place.

Think that was a booster to the form.

Also just noticed the 2nd (Positive Impact) won his next race by 4 lengths in a Class 2 at Kempton.

Just found a short clip where James Horton mentions Encourageable at the end...

[ ] This thread is ageing well.
Dunlop 0-20 so far in April and 36 runners since his last winner  He did have one finish second at 100-1 towards the end of last month in a Kempton novice, but otherwise it hasn't been great. The moral of the story? Beware small sample sizes! |

Ed Dunlop complete non entity to be honest, the apple fell miles away from the tree in that family.
